  <default_description>The fifth edition of the best-selling text-completely revised to reflect the latest developments in the field&lt;P&gt; In this completely revised and updated fifth edition of group psychotherapy's standard text, Dr. Yalom and his collaborator present the most recent developments in the field, drawing on nearly a decade of new research as well as their broad clinical wisdom and expertise.

Yalom writes fluently, knowledgeably, and with clarity and uncommon good sense.&quot; &lt;I&gt;Contemporary Psychology&lt;/I&gt;</default_description>
